"Camino al Norte" details the last great expedition led by Juan de Oñate from Mexico in 1598 to establish a kingdom north of the Río Grande. Although de Oñate's attempt to create a new Mexico failed, his expedition led directly to the establishment of roads, cities and industries that are woven into the texture of the American Southwest.
Capturing scenes and sights along the Camino Real from its starting point in Central Mexico to its destination near Taos, New Mexico, "Camino al Norte" includes photographs of the Oñate Trail as it appears today, an outline map of the road. Overview text and photo captions are printed in both English and Spanish.
This is a Humanities Texas exhibit.

Would anyone like to share their tried and true mulled cider recipe? I am planning on serving it from a crock pot. Thanks for any help. |

- Posted by bloominroses (My Page) on Fri, Nov 16, 07 at 1:57
Here's a mulled cider recipe that I have used for years- (serves 16) 2 quarts apple cider 1 orange, sliced 1 lemon, sliced 4 cinnamon sticks 6 whole cloves 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground ginger Combine all in crockpot and heat for a couple of hours. Has a wonderful aroma! Garnish with orange and/or lemon slices and cinnamon sticks. Enjoy! |

Thank you. That one sounds perfect and I can smell it already! |

I gallon apple cider (apple juice will work but cider is a bit tastier) one orange into which you have pushed 15 cloves (or you can throw in the cloves and orange, which can be whole or sliced) 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks (the spice, not the candy) Heat in a large pan over low heat for about 30 minutes so that the flavors will blend. Do not boil. Taste it to see if the spices and orange have flavored it before you serve it--sometimes it takes a little more cooking. After about 90 minutes, I always remove the spices and orange as they will make the cider bitter if cooked too long. This is good as is. Or you can put a shot of brandy, rum, or Irish whiskey in the bottom of your cup before adding the cider. |

Sheila - thanks for posting that recipe. I actually made it as posted by bloominroses and it was delicious, however, I just quarterd the orange and put stuck them into the orange - I was afraid someone was going to drink one. I felt the cider was getting a little bitter, so I pulled the oranges and lemons out. But everyone loved it and there wasn't a drop left. Next time is with some whiskey LOL. |

Homemade Facial Toner
The original purpose of toner was to tighten the skin through the application of alcohols. However, we all know that too much alcohol can dry up your skin. As skin care has evolved, more toners were formulated for different skin needs, thus more ingredients were added. Other manufacturers tried to stay away from alcohols to be able to provide better reputation to facial toners, but most of the toners nowadays still have it.
Worry no more about harsh ingredients! You can have an all-natural toner which is 100% safe and at the same time, very easy to make.
You only need these two ingredients:
1 tbsp honey
1 peeled and cored apple
1. Use a blender to puree the honey and apple
2. Smooth over face
3. Leave for 15 minutes
4. Rinse with cool water
There, enjoy your homemade facial toner!

The best time to take a pregnancy test is in the morning when your levels

First Time With Sister
It happened when I was in my teens either 14 or 15 while my sister was 16 or 17 and although we had seperate bedrooms we would often get together in either hers or mine before turning in. I remember it was summer and had not long started sleeping in the nude and that it was a particularly hot and stuffy evening.We had both gone up to bed as usual as directed by our parents and my sister beckoned to me to join her in her bedroom. The usual tactic was to go to our own room and prepare for bed before we would get together and talk about whatever. We did as usual so I slipped on some PJ bottoms carefully crossed the landing avoiding the squeaky floorboards and pushed the door ajar slightly. She whispered back for me to come in and I slipped round the door carefully closing it behind me.
She was wearing her PJ's and laid out on top of her bed on her front with a book open in front of her so I sat on the edge of the bed and we started chatting. Suddenly she asked why I was ony wearing bottoms so I said cos it was hot she sniggered at my remark then said you sleeping in the nude aren't you? I think I blushed as she said it was ok she had been the past few nights as it had been so hot and stuffy. We carried on chatting about other things then she said she was going to get to sleep and I recall saying goodnight or something and standing up. Then she smiled at me and said dare you to take them off now which was not a good thing to say to me as she already knew. I looked at her for a minute then said, "I will if you will." thinking she would back off. My sister was not usually one to pick up a dare no mater what it was but she spun round on her bed and pulled her top off over her head then ripped the bottoms off and just lay there with a smile on her face.
This was the first time I saw her naked in fact the first time I had seen a naked female and was stood there looking at her breasts and bush, "Your turn." broke the silence then I pushed my PJ's down and stepped out of them.
This was the first time any of my family saw me naked aside from my mother when I was much younger and the first time I saw my sister naked as well, the first of several such occasions.
Nice. :)
sounds very exciting. how did she react to your nudity?
A nice story! Thank you
for sharing it! :)
It's been almost a year since I first read this well-written story. It made me smile again at the picture you painted in my mind.
Thanks again!
Sweet so nice
I grew up in a clothing opp home, I saw my sister naked almost everyday through our high school years.
when i was 12 .. my mother remarry. My step father had two daughters.. they would come visited during the summer... well my one sister was 12 as me the other was 10.. Well my mother would let us bath together to save water.. this was first time i seen real naked girl.. we didn't think anything about being nude.. We just taking a bath... But when she turn 13 she stop bathing nude with me.. and wouldn't let me see her nude again..
My mom bathed my sister and when we were little, and we continued to share the bathroom right through high school.
I bet your **** was soon hard and she liked to see a hard one
Having been somewhat forced into nudity by my older brother, I wondered if similar activities took place between brothers and sisters. A few years later, as an exchange student, I stayed with a large family. While they didn't walk around the house nude, the kids were obviously comfortable being seen naked by each other. My exchange brother and I once walked through a bathroom where two of his sisters were taking a bath together (they were both under 10). They squealed briefly but then laughed at the look on my face. In one other incident, one 11 year old sister was in a large bathroom with another sister (younger) and two younger brothers, one of whom was sitting on a chamber pot! The oldest girl was totally naked and the others in varying states of nakedness - no one seemed to think a thing of it. I was fascinated and jealous at the same time. That's how families should be, but not how mine was.
i have sort of same thing we were step brother and sister they married when is 14 years old and my step sister was 12 year old we were more like in love and were boy friend and girl friend had sex and then she wanted to back off but there was still sexual tension between us we use to party together drunk and high and then some times would have sex and i remember we would also sneak into each other rooms and talk and sleep firstname.lastname@example.com
Very nice story.

Quoted from lkpetrolino It seems like the hormones are hanging about too long in the body, and so you are not metabolising them. My guess is you have some sort of Thyroid autoimmune condition and your symptoms of 'adrenal fatigue' is really a case of the thyroid slowly degrading. I would take oral iodine with the addition of l-selenimethione Selenium, Vit d and zinc (no more than 10 mg) this should help kick it into gear to metabolise those hormones
Quoted from Whimsical No offense to anyone posting in this thread, but in your situation I wouldn't follow advice obtained from anyone who had not examined me. I think in your situation you should find a new (great) doctor rather than continue to try things that may make your issues worse. In fact, if I were you, I would stop taking EVERYTHING, stick to the BTD diet, exercise gently (to avoid exacerbating the possible adrenal issues), and make sure to get lots of sleep and rest.
Quoted from AfricanTypeO Thanks Debra. I've been drinking a lot of dandelion tea. I guess instinctively I knew it was a good idea. I think I may start taking spinning classes at the gym, which means I'll need to renew my gym membership. The only good thing about this is that my breasts are now HUGE. I think I'm like a 36 DD. On New Years Eve I squeezed myself into one of the little size 6 dresses that *used* to fit me fine pre-dhea and it was so tight that my breasts actually burst out three times during the evening. The guy sitting along from me at the bar got quite an eyeful. ROFLMAO!!!
Quoted from AfricanTypeO Thanks! But the selenium and iodine might make my thyroid even more active? The last thing I want is for my thyroid to get any more over-active!

Quoted from 7 Keto DHEAhttp://www.dadamo.com/forum/archivea/admin_config.pl?read=67161 The therapeutic properties of 7-Keto DHEA are very similar to those of DHEA. The primary difference between 7-Keto DHEA and regular DHEA is that the anabolic properties of DHEA are maximized while the androgenic effects (which are problematic) are minimized with 7-Keto DHEA. There are also claims that 7-Keto DHEA is more potent in terms of therapeutic effects compared to regular DHEA:
Quoted from lola biochemistry sure is a complex matter!!

Hello, I am in north California. I have seen in a neighbor's yard a blue "Pride of Madeira" plant, big with long slender blue color flower cones. Very unique, and different from most of the Pride of Madeira that I could find in the nursery. Does anyone know what variety this is and where to order one? Most "Pride of Madeira" have purple to blue flower cones. The cones are fatter, about 3-inches wide at the base. You can visibly see purple hue in the flower cones. This one plant is different in two ways: 1. the flower spikes are longer and slender, only about 1.5 inch to 2-inches at the base of the cone, and 2. the color is blue, with almost no purple hue. I don't seem to be able to find information online about such a blue variety of pride of madeira, I did find something called "Select Blue" online. But I was not sure, and could find no specific description about " select blue." Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are extremely variable in color, size of spikes, etc from seed, and there are selected forms that are propagated from cuttings. Semi hardwood cuttings are the general method to select the form you want. |

Echium fastuosum maybe, the flowers can be purple to blue and the flower varies between a little chubby to more conical in shape. I plant Mr. Happy hybrids in my garden for the tall blooms from Annie's. Pride of Madeira has a tendency to freeze in my garden from cold blasts of canyon air. |

House of Deréon, the fashion label created by Beyoncé's mom, Tina, has unveiled its ads for the Autumn/Winter 2012 line. This season's looks were inspired by Beyoncé's stage outfits from last year's Glastonbury festival--appropriately, the girl that the line represents is meant to be a free spirit having an awesome time at a music festival. Beyoncé pretty much looks amazing in everything, so we're not surprised that she rocks these edgy looks, including standout pieces like a body-hugging black dress with geometric cutouts and a flowing, floor-length leopard print skirt.
There's a lot of black leather here, which fits in nicely with the clothing's rocker vibe. There are also deep shades of reds and violets, and some fun patterned separates that could easily be paired together to create some intriguing outfits. There's plenty of fall trends at work here, like sequins, metallics, and leather trim. We think these getups have the "wow" factor-- what do you think?

We are building a new home with 9'-1" ceiling height and I trying to come up with a good top of window elevation..I am thinking adding a 12" transom to 6'-8" door would put me at 7'-8" for the top of the windows, this would also allow plenty of room for 5" window trim and crown molding ...Our designer is suggesting 8'-0" for the tops of the windows...Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.. |
Follow-Up Postings:
How tall are the windows? At what height do you want the sill to be at from the floor? Tops don't necessarily need to aline. We did this once and had to reframe so all the bottoms lined up... what a pain. |
Window length 5'-6'' or 6'-0"...sill at about 24"..Thanks for the input... |

Edward Norton Creating 'Lewis and Clark' Miniseries For HBO With 'Stone' Director John Curran
Posted on Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 by Russ Fischer
Edward Norton and director John Curran are slowly cultivating a good working relationship. They previously made The Painted Veil, which wasn't quite a success, and then crafted Stone. The latter, despite having early caution instilled thanks to a terrible sales trailer, has turned out to be a fairly satisfying thriller / character study.
And now the team of Norton and Curran is working together on an HBO miniseries based on the story of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Read More »

'Say NO to the surveillance state!' - Buses thanking Edward Snowden cruise Washington D.C. (VIDEO)
Submitted by ron_paul_is_awesome on Tue, 11/26/2013 - 15:36Published time: November 26, 2013 08:07
Viewing NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden in Washington may rub salt into the fresh wounds of the Obama administration. A free-speech advocacy group put the fugitive's face on Metro buses in a gesture of gratitude for his leaks.
The crowd funded 'Thank You Ed Snowden' bus ad campaign, launched this week, was organized by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF).
"The elites in D.C. may not ride the bus, but they can't avoid reading the bus!" the group wrote on its donation site.
When fund-raising started to do the Snowden bus ad in Washington, it was only planned to pay for one single bus. Advertising costs for this are $5,000 for four weeks, according to CBS Outdoor, which handles advertising on Metro [Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority].
However now, following media reports, the campaign has seen an inflow of donations, and the PCJF is planning to extend and expand it.
"We want millions of people to know that they too can join the growing movement opposing the NSA's Surveillance State," it said.

Just a grammar lesson.
Man I hate communism, and how "they" are so manipulative at moving the masses.
I do like the add though, and I agree that we should fight the NSA...but don't want to drive it into the arms of the UN.
Is it already too late to stop mass civilian surveillance, or has the NSA gotten too big to go back? If it is deeply tangled with the MIC, what can be done to shut it down?
Would people en mass, ever boycott products that spy on them?

That such buses wouldn't be found in Moscow is part of
the point, I think. It does reflect a certain hypocrisy, as also Velveeta noted below. On the other hand, what does it say when a progressive legal advocacy group is called by the (liberal) Washington Post "the constitutional sheriffs for a new protest generation" - a group whose work is directed *against* a progressive administration.
Personally, while I did momentarily smile, I can't tell you how much I dislike the sight of (any) outdoor advertising. If you don't like tv comm'ls, you don't have to watch. You can also turn the page of a magazine or newspaper. But you're a sitting duck with outdoor ads - whether billboards or buses - unable to escape the propaganda of whomever has enough money to pay for it. That is, unless you're Kalle Lasn, who criticizes advertising and whose money the media won't take. Btw, he coined the term Occupy Wall St and set the first date. This legal advocacy group defended some arrested NYC Occupy protesters.

I wonder how many views of this are seen in Russia?
From Putin on down to the beet farmers, is the internet viewing of this available to them? Are they likely to be curious about OUR thankfulness for Snowden's personal sacrifices to better reveal the scope and nature of the surveillance state that WE, in the land of FREE, find ourselves immersed in?
I choose to view Russians as folks much like ourselves, being family and faith-oriented first; struggling with government impositions and coercions much as we do; only it's been overt there longer than the covert subversion that we've only learned of lately. I wonder how many more Russian Christians are praying for US, than we are praying for them and our great opportunity to turn this around?
Спасибо (Thank you), Ed Snowden!

What a funny situation
We need a progressive advocacy group... to promote a quintessential libertarian ideal... to a Democrat-controlled Senate and Republican-controlled House of Representatives... to hopefully spur Congress to take back control from a power-usurping progressive president. Well, I'm with Kalle Lasn, no fan of advertising and least of all outdoor, but... I guess it's nice to know Congressmen will be seeing that message for a while. :)

"The soup was delicious! I used turkey italian sausage. I only had enough broth, beans and tomatos on hand for a half batch but had 2 lbs of sausage so mine was a bit meatier & also a bit too salty which I think was due to the extra seasoned meat. Thanks for sharing! I will make this again and love the freezability of it."

The Court-Martial of George Armstrong CusterGeorge Armstrong Custer, the golden-boy of the 7th Cavalry, is miraculously found alive among the hundreds of dead soldiers. Then, as a stunned nation looks on, he is put on trial for disobeying orders. While the prosecutor shows Custer as a murderous grandstander, reckless with the lives of his men, the public wants desperately to believe that their hero made a simple mistake. Finally, it's Custer's turn to reveal what really happened that sweltering day along the Little Bighorn. |

You are here : University of Southern DenmarkAbout SDUFacultiesFaculty of ScienceNews from the Faculty of Science Scientists make your stomach turn bright green if you have an ulcer
Each year, many patients are examined for ulcers, and this is often done by retrieving a tissue sample from the stomach. This requires that the doctor sends an instrument down into the patient´s stomach, and the patient must wait for the tissue sample to be analyzed before the doctor can give information about a possible ulcer.
Now researchers from University of Southern Denmark are developing a diagnostic technique that makes it possible to detect the ulcer instantly. It shortens the patient's unease and it improves the doctor's opportunity for early diagnosis. "Early diagnosis does not only prevent ulcers from developing, it can also prevent the development of cancer", says Ph. D. student Silvia Fontenete from the Nucleic Acid Center at the University of Southern Denmark/Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy, University of Porto in Portugal. She is the lead author of an article on the research results in journals PLOS One. Ulcers are often caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, which produces ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. Usually the doctor retrieves a tissue sample from the stomach and has it analyzed. You can also take a breath test, where molecules in the patient's breath are analyzed, but this technique is not always reliable, says Silvia Fontenete. Scientists have for some time been able to make tissue samples from the stomach glow fluorescent green if the tissue is infected with H. pylori bacteria. For this the scientist will need to retrieve a piece of the stomach for analysis in the laboratory. The researchers' new approach is to make the stomach glow bright fluorescent green WITHOUT taking tissue samples from it. "Our laboratory experiments suggest that one day it will be possible for doctors to send some specially designed molecules down in the stomach, where they will make H. pylori glow brightly green ", explains Silvia Fontenete. To see the green light the doctor will send a small micro-camera into the stomach. The scientists report to have made H. pylori glow green in artificial tissue in the laboratory - this was tissue that mimics the lining of the human stomach. "We believe that the same can happen in a real human stomach", says Silvia Fontenete. To achieve their results, the researchers had to overcome two major challenges: The first challenge was to create the special molecules that can both detect H. pylori bacteria and function at approx. 37 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature of the human stomach. The second challenge was that the molecule should be able to function in the extremely acidic environment of the stomach. Both challenges were solved by working with the so-called Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA), some special synthetic molecules developed by Silvia Fontenente's research director, Professor Jesper Wengel at University of Southern Denmark. LNA are artificial RNA-like molecules which can bind to microRNA molecules. They are extremely stable and can operate at lower temperatures and in more acidic environments than other molecules. "We have been lucky: The first molecules I created turned out to do the job right away. I could have been more unfortunate, and it would have taken several years", says Silvia Fontenete.

Our elite classes will be designated as Pro/Cat 1 Open Men and Pro/Cat 1 Open Women. Any racer holding a Pro USAC mountain license must race these categories.
Cat 2 and Cat 3 classes do not require an annual license. However, to participate in USA Cycling National Championships at Bear Creek in 2013 and 2014 an annual license is required. Cat 2 & 3 do not need to earn qualifying spots. Check www.usacycling.org for the latest qualifying specifics.

Hey guys. It's the end of the year which means it's about time to pick the next semester's classes. Really, I know, it can be really stressful to start having to plan a schedule for next semester with all of these semester's classes piling on work because it's the end of the year. But don't let the rush and pressure of having to pick classes overwhelm you. You really have a lot more time than you think you do. The way it works here at UVA is that upper- classmen get to pick classes before underclassmen. So, classes tend to fill up especially at a huge public university like this. So, it can feel like there's a lot of pressure to rush to the computer and pick classes as fast as possible but you really have a ton of time. Classes don't close until the semester starts. So, you have plenty of time to change your schedule around. And if you put yourself on waitlist, you tend to get off. I, in past semesters have gotten off in every waitlist that I've wanted to get off of because people change their minds about what they wanna take. So, you really don't have anything to worry about and don't stress. And good luck, picking next year's classes. Thanks guys.

Saving data across script executions
So I have an imaginary share.php. Say 10 users are submitting data to that script - every time they submit their own data, they get the most recent submissions of others as their response.
Now, this will happen very often, every couple of seconds at least. File IO is slow, so writing to a temporary file is terrible. Similarly, hitting a DB everytime feels very inefficient (though I suppose if the DB is smart, it'll keep the row in memory so I just suffer a few API calls but no real File IO or processing costs).
I'm under the impression the mod_php keeps the same interpretter running for all script calls, so it seems reasonable that I should be able to modify the actual interpretter's state with data (or do the functional equivalent - perhaps some deliberately exposed "Global" object). I know that Java servlets are perfect for this, but I'm unfortunately limited to a PHP environment.
Ultimately, is there any way in PHP to save data directly to the interpretter's state, so subsequent script executions can pull the data directly from memory and alter it themselves instead of relying on some indirect data storage mechanism?

i don't think so, no.Originally Posted by jkd
the biggest disappointment for me, when i started with PHP, is that there isn't something as an application-object. but to be honest: i never actually couldn't do something because this was missing.
i would try using a db, because it's simple to set up a small testscript and db-table, so you shouldn't waste to much time on finding out if this sollution is performant enough.
depending on the choosen db, you'll be able to use some optimalisations. if you for instance use mysql, then you can use the recordset-buffering feature to get faster returns.
obviously, a db has more overhead then writing the data to and from a textfile, but using a db will give you more flexability (for selects, sorting, agregations, ...) and has a lower lock-level then using files. so i would first try a db-approach and only look for an alternative if the db realy is a noticable bottleneck.

you could use shared memory.. though its only practical for smaller amounts of data look at shmop
I have seen this used in conjunction with a small standalone socket server which you could load as a resource (if you were bored enough to write one )
resistance is...
MVC is the current buzz in web application architectures. It comes from event-driven desktop application design and doesn't fit into web application design very well. But luckily nobody really knows what MVC means, so we can call our presentation layer separation mechanism MVC and move on. (Rasmus Lerdorf)
Both the Heap/Memory MySQL feature and the shmop (*excellent* name, btw) seem to be about as close as I'm going to get. Thanks!

Dundee and Newquay Cornwall airports' operators are in the final stages of applying for European subsidies to maintain air links with London, as their only routes to the UK capital are set to withdrawn later this year.
Flybe is to drop its Newquay-London Gatwick service in October 2014, and CityJet its Dundee-London City route on 29 March. Now, Cornwall and Dundee City councils are seeking public service obligation (PSO) grants to keep London services running.
Cornwall Council has made no secret of its desire to apply for a PSO, and documents released under the UK Freedom of Information Act and seen by Flightglobal show that both councils corresponded with the UK Department for Transport (DfT) between September and October, seeking advice on building a case for a PSO with the European Commission.
"Since we last spoke, the negotiations with the two airlines who expressed an interest in operating a Newquay to London service when the current service stops at the end of March 2014, have moved on. It is now looking highly unlikely that either airline will be prepared to provide a service. This makes a PSO our only option if we are to maintain the link. Cornwall's six MPs were made aware of this position yesterday at their monthly meeting with the council's cabinet members," Cornwall Council told the DfT.
Cornwall Council and Dundee City council has hired consultancies Mott MacDonald and RDC Aviation, respectively, to present their cases for the PSO to the European Commission, the documents show.
They also reveal that Devon Council also showed an interest in applying for a PSO on a route from the "far southwest to London via Exeter" and requested more information on the subject from the DfT in August 2013.
In June 2013, the UK government set aside £20 million ($33 million) of funding to subsidise air links to London where there is a risk that regional connectivity may be lost.

Most people think of the Joyce as a destination for performances by big-name national and international dance companies. But 20 blocks north of the Chelsea venue, at its affiliated DANY (Dance Art New York) Studios, you can find one of the theater's lesser-known offerings: its series of master classes with the in-demand artists on its roster. While Vancouver-based Crystal Pite is in town this month for the Joyce debut of her company Kidd Pivot (Nov. 28–Dec. 2), she'll teach a class at DANY on Nov. 30. The two-hour session, according to the Joyce's website, is "explorative and non-performative; its focus is on the play between analysis and instinct and the use of improvisation both as a tool and an experience." On Dec. 7, London's Russell Maliphant leads a workshop that may provide some insight into the process behind his Rodin Project, which he brings to the Joyce Dec. 5–9.

Los Angeles' New Carver Apartments Show the Social Side of Good Design
Posted By Jorge Chapa On July 13, 2011 @ 3:40 pm In Architecture,carousel showcase,gallery,social design,Sustainable Building | 1 Comment

Los Angeles' New Carver Apartments are situated in a 97 unit 57,000 square feet building that provides housing to formerly homeless elderly and disabled residents. The apartment building was designed by Michael Maltzan architects [9] for the Skid Row Housing Trust [10] and is located right next to the 10 freeway at Hope and 17th streets.
This location posed a significant challenge since the noisy highway makes it almost impossible to build a comfortable and quiet residential apartment. The solution to this problem came partly through the complex' iconic shape — the circular design minimizes the transmission of traffic noise into the building. Once the noise problem was solved, the architects explored ways to best utilize the highway. Their solution was to situate a community room next to the freeway, giving the project's residents an enjoyable view over the urban structure.
Photo by Iwan Baan [8]
The main shape of the building is that of a drum, and it's exterior is broken up by a number of saw-tooth vertical ridges. The internal atria provides a long and beautiful cylindrical stair. By closing the facade and keeping the horizontal and vertical windows as narrow and small as possible, noise and exhaust fumes from the nearby freeway [11] can be minimized.
One of the main goals of the project is to drive communication between the building's residents. The whole design of the building is geared towards providing a comforting space that will bring with it a sense of security and comfort. The project incorporates communal spaces, kitchen, dining areas, gathering spaces and gardens. It also includes medical and social services.
A well designed building can become a vehicle for putting people's lives together. The New Carver Apartments exemplify what good design is capable of achieving.

Norwich University invests over $40 million in improvementsBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | April 19,2013NORTHFIELD Norwich University is awash in construction as its in the process of completing $41 million worth of improvements to its campus.
The school is currently building a new dormitory, biomass heating plant and athletic field. It is also installing new underground data and power lines and will be renovating an existing dorm this summer after commencement. The construction is part of the schools master plan, which includes another as-of-yet unscheduled new dorm building and renovations to the schools academic buildings that it hopes to complete by 2019, the schools 200th anniversary.
The buildings and grounds are a physical manifestation of the strength of the university, said David Magida, the schools chief administrative officer. Norwich is strong, were healthy. As a result, we are able to do these things to improve life on campus.
Magida said the $25 million dormitory will add 286 beds to the campus. Of those, 100 will be used to reduce the overcrowding that Magida said is currently affecting campus life. The rest of the beds will be used for new residential students, either students new to the school or students currently enrolled who are living off-campus.
Magida said the dorm is expected to be open by August 2014. The dorms construction is being paid for by a low-interest loan from an alumnus of the school, whose name has not been released, according to Daphne Larkin, the schools assistant director of communications.
The dorm will allow Norwich to accept more students. Larkin says the school has had to cap enrollment for the past three years, a new phenomenon for the university even though it has become more competitive. Admissions standards have risen for applicants for both the SAT the countrys widely used college entrance exam and for secondary school grade point averages. Larkin said the school currently has around 2,200 students enrolled 1,500 of them in the Corps of Cadets and 700 civilians.
Sabine Field is also undergoing a $5.8 million renovation highlighted by the installation a new state-of-the-art artificial turf surface, new lighting, seating and a new sound system. Magida said the turf will allow the field to be used nearly year-round because it can be plowed in the winter. The current natural turf, of course, cant be used in the winter because of the snow, and Magita said the natural grass field historically is in rough shape after the fall season is done. The new playing surface will hold up much better, especially after the punishment it takes during football games.
The company that makes the new turf material, Shaw Sports Turf, touts its product as being used on the fields of such National Football League teams as the Super Bowl champion Balitmore Ravens, the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The new field will be used for football, soccer, lacrosse and other events, whereas the old field was only used for football and some cadet events.
The field is expected to be ready to use on Sept. 1.
The money for the field and the $850,000 installation of upgraded underground data and powerlines next to the field came from the schools recently completed fundraising campaign, Bearing the Torch, which raised $24 million in three years.
A $6.2 million biomass plant is being built adjacent to the schools current oil burning plant. Magida said the new plant will save the school around $1 million in heating costs per year. The plant will also replace the schools annual fuel oil consumption of some 657,000 gallons with just under 13,000 tons of wood chips per year.
Right now, we are completely subservient to one fuel source. If there was a disruption to the fuel market or a huge spike in fuel costs, wed have no other alternative, he said, adding all of the woodchips will come from trees within 100 miles of the school.MORE IN Vermont NewsA Montpelier man has been sentenced for trying to kill himself by setting his Elm Street home on...

Garton, a Connecticut native, holds BA and MA degrees from the University of Bridgeport. She is a member of the Sacramento Estate Planning Council, and has served her Rotary Club as advisor to Rio Americano High School's Interact Club for over 10 years. She is a board member of the Friends of the Sacramento Crisis Nurseries and an active supporter of the Sacramento Ballet's annual calendar sale depicting members of the ballet company interacting with firefighters.
